Riccardo Simonetti (30) is and remains a bird of paradise. The presenter recently got engaged to his partner Steven – and was thrilled about his happiness. In the course of this, he also spoke about acceptance and the courage to be true to yourself. Now he is sharing a very special snapshot with his fans – dressed as a teenager Ricardo himself as extravagant as his fans know him!
The boy is standing in the picture Ricardo in a striking look in the snow: he wears a leather jacket and a pink tutu, combined with fishnet tights. “Having the courage to express yourself and go your own way, especially in rural areas, is and remains a huge challenge,” writes the author on Instagram. He then appeals to his readers: “I want everyone […] Encourage yourself – it’s worth it.” Despite the ridicule and malice, holding back was never an option for him.
The fans are happy about the intimate insight into the entertainer’s past. “What a beautiful picture. You have always remained true to yourself,” writes one user under the post. “You looked enchanting before, dear Riccardo,” praises another.
